Member Testimonials
Great facility, friendly staff and plenty of space to workout or swim.
Great people!
Great staff!
Great classes!
I love the Y and what the staff do. It's my settle down space after work but also a place to say hi to my neighbors and the staff. I appreciate all the social activities (races, etc) and services (camp, after care, providing a safe place for kids to hang out) that the Y provides. The staff are friendly and caring. Honestly, it's really what I need after a day of sitting in front of a screen and multi-tasking. Everyone should have a safe place where they can tune out and tune up their bodies for a half hour or more every day.
I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE Y FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS AN I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT ; SUCH AS THE PERSONAL TRAINERS AND THE FACILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE MEMBERS BY THEMSELVES ARE FANTASTIC ALSO I HAVE RECOMMENDED 3 MEMBERS OVER MY TIME AT THE Y TO JOIN.
I love the water aerobics classes. Your women's showers and changing rooms are top notch.
We really enjoy all of the programs that you offer: group exercise classes, kid's club, open gymnastics, etc. We also appreciate the flexibility our membership offers as we're able to access multiple Y locations on the North Shore.
However, I would like to suggest that you look into offering earlier kid's club hours in the afternoon. I'm sure it's difficult to get workers, but opening kid's club at 3:30 (or so) would make signing an older child up for one of your gymnastics or swim classes more attractive. The fact that Kid's Club currently doesn't open until 4:15 makes me less interested in signing my oldest child up for a gymnastics class earlier than that as I wouldn't have anything for the younger kids to do during that time.
I have been to many Y's in my life and I find the Beverly Y the ultimate experience for exercise and community.
The staff members are great. Always helpful and with a smile. You can't demand that behavior from people.
Everything is there that is needed to stay in shape and be in contact with friends and neighbors.
Someone has found the method to create this experience. Congrats to whoever is responsible. Pleas note, I can be cynical too. But there is nothing to complain about.

It is clean, friendly, with lots of equipment and activities for all age groups.
I love the water La Blast class with Scott. The pool is wonderful and the sauna is relaxing. The women’s locker room is always clean. Those working at the desk are friendly and kind. I enjoy my time at the Y Sterling Center.
So clean and friendly! A great experience
The staff is great and informative. The classes offered have a wide range of choices. The gym is updated and with updated equipment. The instructors of the classes are wonderful. The building itself is very clean and maintained. Everything is easily found and accessible.

Excellent classes and instructors. Lee Benton is wonderful!
Kids had fun. Offering classes as sessions instead of ongoing has been great!
The Beverly YMCA played a pivotal role in my high school journey as an athlete. Returning to the facility recently, I am happy to find that it has not only maintained its excellence but has also continued to improve, making it one of the best on the North Shore.
